Is D: a network drive? If so, you have to ensure that the scheduled job
has it mapped.

AFAIK there is no way of telling what the "current directory" on D:
might be when the scheduled job runs; specify a fully qualified
filename.

To debug, put a PAUSE command at the end (at least), run the scheduled
job "soon", and inspect the console output.
